Pricked russet potatoes have exploded both in my microwave and my full-size oven. It the latter instance, I had added the potatoes to a hot oven already occupied by a roasting chicken. So I rolled them directly onto the oven rack. The one that exploded was apparently touching the oven wall.
It has been established that people can tell the difference between very hot and very cold water being poured into a vessel from the sound alone.
A punctured potato exploded in my niece’s microwave. I don’t know the details, but somehow it ruined the microwave. Luckily, I hadn’t sent her a wedding gift yet, so I had one shipped to her the next day.
